Usually a lurker but I wanted to report my personal findings incase they help someone. I started using Ashwagandha after reading the Suppversity article on it and am approximately 4 days in. For those who don't know what it is, search the forums as more able minds have already chimed in.
I am usually a calm person by nature so I cant allude to its anxiety related effects (or it could be too early tell...maybe I will attain a Zen like state in the weeks to come). Personally though where I have found the greatest effect is the sleep quality. I don't have trouble sleeping but after taking this, I am achieving a deeper sleep state if that makes sense.
I sleep around 11 pm and get up around 6:30 am but usually I would like to get a few more minutes/hours of sleep. Now I get up without the alarm completely refreshed - like no desire to sleep in some more...Yesterday I went to sleep past midnight (I have a 2 year old...) and I woke up at 6 am...again completely charged up. Also to note - These are dreamless sleep.
Btw I am non responder to lot of things including caffeine and Ashwagandha doesn't make me sleepy nor gives me energy like some anecdotal experiences but when I do fall asleep its amazing. You could call this a placebo but its happening consistently night after night. For those interested to maximize GH production and recovery or have hectic schedules with limited sleep- maybe this could help you. I am using a 8% WA extract (KSM-66), 350 mg pill before sleep.
I am going to avoid dosing during the weekend to see if there is a change in sleep.
